This will be my summer time home base…the area is wide open and near the Texas mountain towns of Alpine and Guadeloupe National Park among others..lots of history here and tons of photos to be taken..!!!
Really hit some bad weather down south this year…going to my Texas homebase for a couple weeks…stay safe out there fellow travelers and may our guardian Angels have a sense of humor upon us allβοΈππ΅πΊπΈ
This is FM 2017 in Culberson County,Texas. One of my home bases is there–The Lost Lariat Ranch.
The area is unique mix of old time cowboy life and escapees from the city ! It is still open range which means cattle, horses and donkeys,etc. roam freely!!
Wandering around with my pal Smitty,I spot a two track, almost completely overgrown..so, we follow it towards the mountain.
Lobo Valley, Texas
We can see at one time it was well traveled. Well graveled and it was partially fenced. It had heavy wooden fixtures on either side. Signs that a lot of people once used this Road
After some research,I believe it once led to the now closed off and private Van Horn Wells.
These photos are of a half buried old strong box.
My imagination went wild…was it from an old stagecoach…did some pioneers abandon it for some reason..???
We may never know!! But, wow, what a great findπ€
